duh....this was a total marketing fail. Should have did your demographics research before pushing that BS in a comic book.

It's a SJW comic book cuz the lead is a black guy?
See, this is why people accuse the right-wing media (e.g., Heat St.) of bias and misleading reporting. The article you linked to says that the comic is being canceled and that "just two issues after its launch". Which is technically accurate, because just two issues had been published at the time of the cancellation announcement. But if you read the actual details from Marvel, it says that issue #6 will be the last issue. That fact is mentioned in the original article:
I used to buy comics all the time in the early 1970's, they were in just about every convenience and grocery store, now I never see them, I thought they stopped making them, now you indicate they are still made and sold, I thought they went out of business about 40 years ago.
So we all agree that SJWs aren't the kind of losers that read comic books after the age of twelve.

Yes, but it only took 2 issues to realize the comic was not going to sell. All the work for the comics up to #6 was probably mostly done so they will be published. Nothing really misleading about that.

I'm not sure it was a fail. How much free press did they get? A poster above said he didn't even know they still made comics.
I hope they just focused on getting out the 6 issues, instead of thinking this was the next big thing. It's clearly a bunt instead on a home run.

That's true. I suppose it's really a matter of phrasing. But, a year from now, I imagine people will say that the book ran for 6 issues and the fact that the decision to cancel was made after only two were published will be mostly irrelevant.
Black folks don't buy comic books. The comic book nerd stereotype exists for a reason.
Marvelous.

Readers saw Pam Grier and felt Blaxploited.

I still see Archie comic books in the checkout lines of my local Kroger, but those have become so pc and LBGT driven, I can't imagine they sell many of them.
